Our Alphabet Dates continue with a standing “O”!  We would love to hear if any of you are taking part in the Alphabet Date Night Challenge.  If not, this is something to consider next year as a great resolution!

“O” Activities:

Opera – if you’re a fan, you can either rent a DVD or plan a night Out at a local theater.  We love Phantom of the Opera, and if you click the link…you’re in for a treat.  (Be sure to turn up your sound!)

Ocean – plan a day at the ocean, if you’re a local visit Ormond Beach.

Outdoor – plan something you both enjoy doing outside!

Oldies – enjoy an evening listening to your favorite oldies music.  This can be whatever genres you enjoyed years ago – our favorite is rock n roll from the 60’s!  My favorite song…click here!  Tom’s favorite…click here!

“O” Food:

Oriental – Plan a themed dinner at home sitting on the floor with lots of pillows and chopsticks.  Fold napkins in Origami style.

Veal Oscar – make this romantic meal at home…you can substiture Chicken to save money.

Oreos with the fun game Othello!  An inexpensive, yet sweet date night at home!

Go OUT for dinner to Olive Garden or Outback Steakhouse! Or you can try cooking some of their recipes yourself in your own OVEN and surprise your spouse!

Donuts – what a perfect excuse to enjoy these tasty “O’s”.  🙂

“O” Special Touches:

Write an “Ode” to your spouse using words which hold special meanings.  Don’t know how?  Check this out!

Plan an evening at the  Oscars – get dressed up and eat appetizers and specialty drinks while you watch a favorite movie.  You can even plan to honor your spouse with an award of your own!

Flowers that begin with “O” – the orchid, orange blossoms, oleander.  Can’t afford the real thing – check out Bath and Body Works for some special fragrant soaps as a surprise.

Oreo Fortune cookies – make your own secret messages, slip them inside each cookies and give the whole bag to your spouse to discover.  Make sure the first one introduces your “O” date night that evening.
